Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I have user and group setup with nobody:nogroup
and 755 permissions. Is this wrong? How do you have your permissions
setup? Currently we don't have it setup as a local app. Thanks for your
help!
Jeff

I've been trying for a few days now to get Firefox to cache pages
to /tmp locally for all users. I updated to Firefox 7, then edited
the firefox.js in /etc/firefox/pref to include these lines -
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); (supposed to tell FF
not to worry about byteshift)
pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
I then took a customized firefox.cfg file and placed it in
/usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1.
This is what we do (to lock down network settings and the like) and it
works. The only problems I can think of are permissions issues on
/usr/lib/firefox-7.0.1/firefox.cfg (can the user read it?) and
whether you have an error in the JavaScript in the .cfg file? Then
again this is all run on the server for us (no local apps), are you
running Firefox as a local app?
For what it's worth, we found that many apps and even the Gnome
desktop itself didn't work that well with nfs mounted home folders for
the students. We've since moved to having real local folder on each
of the LTSP server (we have multiple load balanced) and we use csync
(http://www.csync.org/) to synchronize those with the central file
server on login/logout and every 10 minutes they're logged in.
Performance went up dramatically and the load on the file server is
almost nothing.
